If does not use Java as a TLS termination point, and you are using nginx, you may need to export the certificates in PEM format.

Note the extension is on the request, not the # Tell exampleCA to sign the certificate. # Create a certificate signing request for dname "CN=, OU=Example Org, O=Example Company, L=San Francisco, ST=California, C=US" \ The certificate is presented by the server in the handshake. # Export the exampleCA public certificate as exampleca.crt so that it can be used in trust stores. ext BasicConstraints:critical="ca:true" \ dname "CN=exampleCA, OU=Example Org, O=Example Company, L=San Francisco, ST=California, C=US" \ # Create a self signed key pair root CA certificate. The root CA certificate has a couple of additional attributes (ca:true, ke圜ertSign) that mark it explicitly as a CA certificate, and will be kept in a trust store. The first step is to create a certificate authority that will sign the certificate. In this example, we assume the hostname is. You will need a server with a DNS hostname assigned, for hostname verification.

This is why certificate verification is so important: accepting any certificate means that even an attacker’s certificate will be blindly accepted. Certificates are used to establish information about the bearer of that information in a way that is difficult to forge. The best way to think about public key certificates is as a passport system. Public key certificates solve this problem. Without some means to verify the identity of a remote server, an attacker could still present itself as the remote server and then forward the secure connection onto the remote server.
Encryption alone is enough to set up a secure connection, but there’s no guarantee that you are talking to the server that you think you are talking to. Public key certificates are a solution to the problem of identity. Generating X.509 Certificates X.509 Certificates
